As the above is just guesswork and there is no official diagnosis, at
this point we can concider him to be just a pain in the butt crank.
Perhaps if enough people pour onto him, he will take advantage of that
free health care in the UK and get himself checked out.

The advanced EM texts all describe the mechanism by which short
antennae are poor radiators.

How the once-technical Yankland descends into the abyss of
rednecked abusive ignorance!

Perhaps those legislators who tried to pass a law defining PI as
3 are now the cadre of those holding Ham licences in Yankland?

And yet again the gas bag of gas bags posts pure nonsense.

The tale of a legislature trying to pass a law to make pi 3 was
an April Fool's parody in 1998.

It is not surprising the gas bag believes April Fool's parodies, old
wive's tales, urban legands, and other such nonsense.



I can't resist pointing out that the same Snopes article mentions that
the Indiana house of representatives *did* pass such a bill in 1897.
Though good sense prevailed in the State Senate, apparently. I am
quite sure, however, that this does not affect current mathematical
thinking in this newsgroup!
